Prepare to Sell

You can do a lot to increase the appeal of your property and to create a lasting impact on potential buyers.

What To Do To Prepare:

The following are a couple of factors to keep in mind when listing your property for sale:

1. 1. Curb Appeal. Keeping your landscape pristine, and adding creative touches to your yard, such as colorful annuals, will create an immediate impact on passers-by and potential buyers.
   2. Property Repairs. Simple upgrades such as window repairs, replacing burned out light bulbs, and a fresh coat of paint in the most frequently used rooms will instantly brighten up the property.
   3. Cleanliness and Staging. Keep your property uncluttered, sweet-smelling and well-lit from top to bottom. Pay attention to detail, put away the kitty litter, have your carpets cleaned and maybe place a vase of fresh flowers on the kitchen table. Mike will scan the property before it is listed for sale to see how you can improve the staging of your property.
   4. Listing Agreement and Disclosures. Mike will prepare a listing agreement with the details that have been discussed pertaining to your property as well as the disclosure forms you will need to fill out. Mike will answer any questions you may have about the listing package. An appointment will be made to have Mike’s photographer do professional still photos, drone photography and a “true” Matterport virtual tour of your home.
   5. Showings. When Mike receives a request to show your property, he will personally communicate with you to confirm the appointment. Once confirmed, it is best to have the property presenting in showing condition. Mike will provide a “To Do List” to prepare the property for showings. This will allow the buyers the best perspective of your property.
